you put a gas check them you can run them to 1400 fps if you like with very little or no leading. That is what gas checks are for. Forget the water quenching unless you enjoy making a mess in the floor. Waving a magic wand over the freshly cast bullets will do just as much good. Wheelweights are fine. if you really want to be a whiz kid go to e-bay and find 10 lbs of linotype, usually about $1 a lb and get thet. it is all over e-bay's sporting goods section. Good stuff and a piece a bit bigger than a marble will do for a 20 lb lead pot. So 10 lbs will last you a long time. Forget all the special formulas and miracle lubes and hocus pocus bullshit. Just cast them, let them sit overnight, then size, and gas check them and go have fun.
